An application for summary judgment allows a party to obtain a court decision on a claim without a full trial. This process aims to achieve swift resolutions, minimise unnecessary litigation<\/a>, and reduce costs. In this article, we discuss the key factors in successfully making an application for summary judgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I presupposti per la sentenza sommaria<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00c8 possibile presentare un'istanza di giudizio sommario nei confronti del ricorrente o del convenuto, sia in relazione all'intera causa sia in merito a una questione specifica, qualora il tribunale ritenga che: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Il partito non ha alcuna reale possibilit\u00e0 di ottenere ragione in merito alla richiesta, alla difesa o alla questione; e\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Non sussiste alcun altro motivo valido per far s\u00ec che la questione o il caso siano sottoposti a giudizio.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Definizione dei presupposti<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      To determine whether a party has no realistic chance of succeeding on the claim, defence, or issue, the court volont\u00e0<\/a> assess whether the respondent\u2019s case, as pleaded, has any genuine prospect of success<\/a>. The respondent does not need to prove that they will succeed at trial; rather, the applicant must show that the respondent\u2019s case lacks substance and that there is no other justification for a trial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, if the respondent to an application for a summary judgment can show that it has a realistic chance of succeeding at trial by highlighting that the claim, defence or issue (as applicable) is neither without substance nor contradicted by all the documents<\/a> on which it relies, it can defeat an application for summary judgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In situations where the respondent cannot demonstrate a real prospect of success on the claim, defence, or issue, they may still be able to defeat an application for a summary judgment. An example of a compelling reason for a trial is that a respondent may need more time to investigate the claim, and such investigation might provide it with a real prospect of success at trial. For instance, a respondent may need more time to contact<\/a> a witness who will provide substantive material in supporto<\/a> of their position or simply requires more time to review key documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Quando \u00e8 possibile richiedere una sentenza sommaria?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Un convenuto pu\u00f2 chiedere il giudizio sommario in qualsiasi fase del procedimento. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A claimant, however, can only apply for summary judgment after the defendant has filed an acknowledgment of service or a defence, unless the court grants permission<\/a> or a rule or practice direction allows otherwise. Typically, a claimant\u2019s application for summary judgment is made before or at the time of filing the directions questionnaire<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Esistono tuttavia tre casi in cui un ricorrente pu\u00f2 presentare istanza di giudizio sommario in qualsiasi momento dopo la notifica dell'atto di citazione (salvo diversa disposizione prevista da una norma o da una direttiva procedurale). Tali casi sono: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
